The Transparent Asset Trap on Modern Web Stacks
Web development frameworks give you complete creative freedom, but traditional media formats break the user experience.
The GIF Performance Penalty
Exporting animations as GIFs forces a 256-color limit, introduces jagged dithered edges, and results in heavy file sizes that hurt your site's PageSpeed metrics.

Cross-Browser Implementation Guide
Transparent web animations need different strategies depending on your platform and compatibility goals. Pick the workflow that fits your stack:
Method 1: Maximum Compatibility (Recommended)
The safest choice for Webflow HTML Embeds and any custom code block. A single high-fidelity APNG plays with true alpha transparency across all major browsers, fully avoiding animated WebP issues on legacy iOS Safari (14–15).
<!-- Paste inside Webflow HTML Embed or any custom HTML block -->
<img src="your-animation.png" alt="TransMov Transparent Asset" style="width:100%; height:auto;">
<img src="your-animation.png" alt="TransMov Transparent Asset" style="width:100%; height:auto;">
Method 2: Performance Optimization (Advanced)
Serve lightweight WebP to browsers that support it, with APNG as the fallback when WebP is unavailable. Best when your audience is primarily on desktop or Safari 16+. Note: Safari 14–15 may still select WebP and freeze on the first frame — use Method 1 for those users.

Method 3: For Framer (Zero-Code)
Drag the APNG (.png) or WebP exported from TransMov directly onto your Framer canvas — no embed code required. For the most reliable transparent playback on all mobile breakpoints, prefer APNG; WebP works well when your audience is on Safari 16+ and other modern browsers.
